Description — Voigtlander 21mm f/3.5 Aspherical
The Voigtlander Color-Skopar 21mm f/3.5 Aspherical is a manual-focus prime lens designed for the Leica M mount, covering full-frame sensors. With a focal length of 21mm, it falls firmly in the ultra-wide-angle category, making it a natural fit for architecture, landscapes, and documentary street work. The f/3.5 maximum aperture keeps the overall package compact and the weight down to just 180g — genuinely easy to carry all day.
A 39mm filter thread provides a practical, small-format option for screw-in filters. There is no image stabilization and no autofocus, placing full creative control in the hands of the photographer — an approach that pairs well with the deliberate, tactile nature of rangefinder shooting. Whether mounted on a classic Leica M film body or a modern mirrorless Leica M-mount camera, this lens offers a clear, well-defined ultra-wide perspective in a package that won't weigh down your bag.
